I am a 70 yr old car nut...I just went thru owing 10 Vipers, 3 which were Twin Turbos, 1 Supercharged, 1 09 ACR, 1 09 AERO COUPE, ...I drag raced semi pro for over 30 yrs in NHRA Super Gas and Super Comp class..I do not street race but I love taking my cars to the drag strip once in a while...I would have bought another Viper but I insisted this time I had to have an automatic, which Vipers only come in 6 speeds so I decided to buy a C7 Corvette....I could not settle for just any Vette though so I bought one that is a 2014 Z51' white with red interior, big brakes, red calipers, automatic, Paxton Supercharger, American long tube headers, and Methanol.....I will take it to the drag strip once in a while to see what it will run....I have another set of rear power coated black rims with Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials P305/35R18s....I have owned 25 Corvettes in my life....mostly 1967 and older big block and F.I cars....sorry for being so long winded....hope I didn't bore anyone with my intro...looking forward to knowing you all...
